-initial import of ply-1.5
-
-The 1.4 version of the package was provided by NONAKA Kimihiro
-in PR 26344 . (And seems to be based upon the FreeBSD port.)
-
-Cleaned up and updated to 1.5 by me.

-PLY is a Python-only implementation of the popular compiler construction
-tools lex and yacc. The implementation borrows ideas from a number of
-previous efforts; most notably John Aycock's SPARK toolkit. However, the
-overall flavor of the implementation is more closely modeled after the C
-version of lex and yacc. The other significant feature of PLY is that it
-provides extensive input validation and error reporting--much more so than
-other Python parsing tools.
